Yikes I think I got a picture of the Ether :) It was a blurry day in May when my precious Kodak-chrome bit the dust.... So I tried to shoot this arrangement using the camera built into my laptop, not so good. Oh well I guess even cameras go the way of all flesh.

These flowers were arranged as a donation for Molly Barker the founder of Girls on the Run. They held a fundraiser gala at Webber's Inn and wanted to have nice flowers to greet their mentor when she arrived.

This arrangement was created as an audition for a wedding this fall. It is funny to realize that every time I meet a new customer it is like interviewing for a job. I actually love this it leaves no time to get comfortable I have to always be at the top of my game! My favorite thing about this arrangement is I got to pick all the flowers out myself :) Here is the run down: Parrot tulips, euphorbia, dusty miller, dahlia, ranunculus, veronica, and that other thing that I have to go look up now......

In an exciting coincidence the Sun Engineering, Saline staff is celebrating two new arrivals babies born to different staff member on the same day!! These arrangements went to St. Joesph's and U of M hospitals. They contain white hydrangea, White fair trade roses, antique pink tulips, and 3 types of eucalyptus (willow, silver dollar, and baby blue)

Sweet Pea loves fair trade roses!! Besides being beautiful they are responsible. I source mine from Whole Foods Market, WFM has been so nice as to travel all the way out to Quito, Ecuador and set up this arrangement with local farmers.

"Workers’ committees are using the premium to provide dental, medical and pediatric care, nutritional programs, literacy programs…the list goes on. Improved housing was a key project for every committee that we met."

Please request these roses from us for your wedding if this kind of thing floats your boat and read more about it on the WFM blog They are more expensive but its only fair :)

New everlasting boutonnieres for our Etsy Shop These are composed of a faux dusty miller backing, dried craspedia (also known as billy balls) and guinea hen feathers. Hoping to find some strapping man to pose in a jacket for a more true to life shot any takers?
